Question #3
Which of the following organelles is surrounded by a single membrane?
A. Nucleus
B. Mitochondria
C. Lysosome
D. Chloroplast

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Lysosomes are single-membrane-bound organelles containing hydrolytic enzymes. Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and the nucleus are double-membrane-bound. Peroxisomes, vacuoles, and the endoplasmic reticulum are also single-membrane structures. The single membrane of lysosomes helps maintain an acidic pH (5.0) for enzyme activity and protects the cell from autolysis.
